UConn - Environment-Human Interactions Cluster Hire

[Prakash Kashwan]

Dear GEP Friends:

 

We have launched a cluster hiring initiative at UConn, focused on Environmental Human Interactions, broadly understood. I am on the college-level Uber search committee, so am happy to answer any questions potential interested candidates may have about the search or the way we are thinking of creating this interdisciplinary cluster. (more details, including on POLS preferences for this process, below).

 

Please share freely and widely.

 

Best wishes,

Prakash

The University of Connecticut’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences invites applications for six faculty positions (four at the level of Assistant Professor and two at the level of Associate or Full Professor) as part of a cluster hire in the Environment and Human Interactions. This initiative also includes two appointments at the Associate or Full Professor level. We seek a range of scholars on subjects including (but not limited to) pollution, water supply, climate change, policy, and society’s response. Applicants may be hired in the following departments: Anthropology, Chemistry, Geography, Marine Sciences, Political Science, Public Policy, and/or Sociology.

The Department of Political Science is interested in candidates for this cluster who can enhance departmental offerings in political behavior or policy analysis related to climate change, environmental sustainability, and environmental justice. Desirable candidates will additionally provide evidence of ability to collaborate with environmental scientists across disciplines, and to develop research programs that can attract external funding.
